Asian Contextual Theology for the Third Millenium: Theology of Minjung in Fourth-Eye Formation
edited by Paul S. Chung, Veli Matti Karkkainen and Kim Kyoung-Jae
In this volume, an attempt is undertaken to highlight the genesis, progress, and transformation of the Asian contextual theology of minjung, introducing its historical point of departure, its development, and its transformation in light of younger Korean and Korean American scholars' endeavors.

Aspects of the Maritime Silk Road: From the Persian Gulf to the East China Sea
edited by Ralph Kauz
In recent years, trade, cultural exchange and transfer of knowledge in the Indian Ocean have increasingly become the focus
of various scholarly disciplines. The previous perception that the exploitation of the sea started only with the European colonial expansion at the end of the 15th century had to be abandoned: The Europeans absorbed the long-existing structures rather than create new ones. This concept of the Indian Ocean as a coherent ...

Transeurasian Verbal Morphology in a Comparative Perspective: Genealogy, Contact, Chance
edited by Lars Johanson and Martine I Robbeets
The term Transeurasian refers to a large group of geographically adjacent languages stretching from the Pacific in the East to the Mediterranean in the West.

The Archaeology and Geography of Ancient Transcaucasian Societies, Volume 1: The Foundations of Research and Regional Survey in the Tsaghkahovit Plain, Armenia
by Adam T. Smith, Ruben S. Badalyan, and Pavel Avetisyan, with contributions by Alan Greene and Leah Minc
Until recently, the South Caucasus was a virtual terra incognita on Western archaeological maps of southwest Asia. The conspicuous absence of marked places-of site names, toponyms, and topography-gave the impression of a region distant, unknown, and vacant. The Joint American-Armenian Project for the Archaeology and Geography of Ancient Transcaucasian Societies (Project ArAGATS) was founded in 1998 to explore this terrain. Our ...

Avoiding the Dire Straits: An inquiry into Food Provisions and Scurvy in Maritime and Military History of China and Wider East Asia
by Mathieu Torck
Scurvy is known to be one of the most gruesome pathological phenomena that, in the course of centuries, has made innumerable victims. Long distance seafaring operations, war zones, prisons and crop failures all created breeding grounds for the vitamin C deficiency disease, which was commonly characterized by swelling and bleeding gums and internal haemorraghes in the limbs. While the history of scurvy is rather well-known from a Western ...

Denkt Asien anders?: Reflexionen zu Buddhismus und Konfuzianismus in Indien, Tibet, China und Japan
edited by Birgit Kellner and Susanne Weigelin-Schwiedrzik
Does Asia think differently? Many who from their own experience know the difference that presents itself when comparing Europe and Asia ask themselves this question. The answer appears to be obvious: Asia is different, therefore Asia thinks differently. The authors of this volume do not deny Asia's otherness. They do show, however, that philosophers in Southern and Eastern Asia pose the same questions that have always been asked throughout the ...

Foundations of Daoist Ritual: A Berlin Symposium
edited by Florian C. Reiter
In 2007, the Chinese Department of Humboldt University (Berlin) staged a symposium on the foundations of Daoist ritual. The results in English and Chinese (with summaries) are presented in this book. Daoist ritual is embedded in Chinese culture, and so considerations from the Confucian point of view made the start. The following contributions deal with components of Daoist rituals that matter on a basic level, involving exorcism, realities of ...
